Here's mine without the tire carrier I took mine off when I was running the stock tires as a spare. there wasn't much use to run it. I've since put it back on with the addition of the new tires.

That's why i took it off because of the stock steelie looked like shit with the 33's on there. I didn't think it looked to bad with it off and plus there was a ton of visibility with out it on there (I don't have the back seat anymore). I put it back on like I said since I got the new tires and wheels

No I don't have anymore pics I didn't have it off for very long. It's only 8 bolts and you have to take the back cover off to unplug the wiring harness. All in all it took maybe 20 mins. I just put the bolts I took out back in the hole and tucked the wiring back into the tailgate.

agreed...very badass..
im just debating on taking the tire carrier off now...i still have the stock 32s..waiting til the run out..not sure what im going to get as a replacement, i dont want to have to regear or anything.
i dont wanna take it off and then..then realize it looks better on or mess up the third light or something..

I doubt you'll mess up the third brake light on the back of the carrier (i'll say the jeep side) there's 4 screws that hold in the back panel take them out and it's a just a plug in like on the doors. Like i said it's only about 20 mins worth of work if that. Take it off if you don't like it throw it back on.
